Abstract: An injector for inserting an intraocular lens into an eye includes a lumen. The lumen can include a terminal portion at a distal end and a proximal portion juxtaposed with the terminal portion. An injector plunger can be disposed within the lumen for generating a driving force on the intraocular lens. The injector can include a lens frictional force that has a first value when the lens is at a first location within the proximal portion and a second value when the lens is at a second location within the terminal portion. The first value can be smaller than the second value. In some embodiments, the lens frictional force increases abruptly from the first value to the second value as the lens approaches the distal end of the lumen.

Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and methods for minimizing or eliminating steps in immunosorbent assays for single and multiple analytes by eliminating both the need to attach target molecules to the test well and the need to remove unbound antibodies through rinsing. The immunosorbent assay (ISA) is utilized for a single analyte or target and includes the step of mixing the immunologic molecules with the sample and detection. The present invention further discloses an immunosorbent assay for multiple analytes (ISAMA) for testing a plurality of analytes or targets in a single well using a modified ISA test wherein different tags are attached to different antibody pairs. Alternate embodiments use multiple types of scavenger antigens with corresponding elimination of the need for scavenger antibodies. The present invention discloses various types of test wells for the rapid and simultaneous testing of fluids for a plurality of components and a methodology for a continuous immunosorbent assay.

Abstract: Disclosed is a specialized holster design and system. The holster disclosed herein is intended to be used by an individual to carry a handgun on his or her person in such a way that the weapon may be partially or completely out of view, securely in place yet immediately available to be drawn from the holster when needed. The holster is variable in ways that also allow the user to make adjustments for comfort and tactical preferences. Once the weapon is drawn the holster remains open allowing one handed re-holstering. Among other attributes, four key features enable in part its broad ranges of functions. These four are the unique outer coating, the retention qualities, fold out attachment tab, and the particularly angled clip. The design enables a novel lightweight holster form fitted to the weapon and maintained securely in place firmly against the user's body in a concealed manner.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for defining animation of content. One exemplary embodiment calls for receiving an indication of a location for an animation pin on a timeline associated with a content editing environment configured for editing content. The embodiment involves recording a state of the content in response to receiving the indication of the location for the animation pin, the recorded state of the content associated with a first time and comprising a value associated with a property. Additionally, the embodiment involves receiving a user input indicating an edited state of the content at a second time different from the first time, the second state associated with the location of the animation pin on the timeline and defining an animation based at least in part on the recorded state and the edited state of the content.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for providing data from a distributed array. In one aspect, the array is a sensor array that includes sensor nodes that are each associated with one or more sensors, and the data includes sensor data acquired from the sensors by the sensor nodes. The sensor array employs modular and interchangeable sensor nodes that are capable of self-organizing in response to a network disruption while maintaining a flow of synchronized data to the event monitor. This self-organizing characteristic enables the overall network of nodes to be self-healing and easily extensible. The improved fault resilience makes it possible to deploy the sensors without requiring complex monitoring or fault diagnosis. Embodiments of the invention can be employed in any number of applications, including without limitation, tunnel activity detection, seismic/acoustic monitoring/detection and other applications where gathering sensor data may be desired.
